Paraguay vs England
Moderator: Zulus Thousand of em
Crouch is not mobile enough, any one who thinks he is like davies needs a reality check! For a 6 foot seven guy his heading is pants!!! and in the second half his lack of mobility really got shown up. The real worry is Owen looked knackard when he came off, no were near 90 competitive mins match fit.

If you look at the BBC website you can give marks out of 10 for the whole team, hundreds of thousands have already done so, and Ferdinands score is right near the bottom of the list, thats because he did absolutely nothing...............and he did that poorly. IMO Cole was about the best from a tepid performance, with Becham and Lampard not far behind. The Crouch position wont be an issue in he next game, as he will be warming the bench. How he is a better bet than Defoe (or even KD) I will never know, his performance reminded me of Rickets debut, when the ball just bounced off him, rather than being controlled.Zulus!

There you go.
i was going to ask which cole, but then realised it doesn't matter, both were poor.

It was a typical England performance really.
Obviously the weather didn't help, and the referee did his best to make sure it affected them.
I'm just glad we won, if we had won 4-0 then the whole nation would have bigged us up more than we already are.
First game, first win, can't do much better. We'll up our game when the big guns come up.

If we play like that in every match, winning one-nil, you won't hear any complaints from me.

I thought Crouch played really well, gave a consistent effort and was MOM. Joe Cole added some flair (sorry Commie) and excitement, although tried to do too much alone. I'm surprised people rated Ferdinand near the bottom because he did what he had to do and didn't give the ball away as much as the other backs, even Terry. We will clearly need to get a lot better to have a long tournament, but the potential is there. I suppose the heat had something to do with it and I hear the lunatics in charge will close the roof for the next game (to make better television) although there is no air-conditioning - glad I won't there for that.

Allardyce isn't just a pundit on itv, he secretly got the England job. It's all a big conspiracy.americantrotter wrote:I thought Crounch did well with no help from his midfielders or the referee. Cole was impressive, but overall we need to remember how to pass. It did look a lot like a dire Bolton match.

Sorry, but if Big Sam were coaching it would have been better than that. I have lost almost all confidence in Sven. he is ruining the best generation of footballer's since 66.
